Re: The Dark Knight Rises
och, cant really justify going up to London for a 10 minute snippet, its not logical. Even the 'free' t-shirt that costs the price of a train ticket will be available in charity shops come next year...
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Security at Glasgow was really tight. Bags searched, pat downs, metal detectors and phones bagged (which I did expect). I would say it was 95% full and I only got one shirt meh :) I can see what the telegraph reviewer meant towards the end of the preview
Re: The Dark Knight Rises
That was really impressive but I empathise completely with the critics. I could not understand what the freakin' hell Tom Hardy was saying.
Not. A. Single. Word.
It's not so much the accent I struggled with as much as how muffled it all sounded.
The narrative was therefore completely lost on me in spite of how flawlessly they managed to pull off that stunt.
Anyway, the footage was 6 minutes long but it took over 20 minutes to get our cellphones back. I'm not complaining. I'm thrilled to have caught even a tiny snippet of this movie. It has indeed whet my appetite for the final product...although I am sincerely hoping Nolan incorporates captioning over all of Bane's lines.
Oh yes, what I did find funny was how just before the snippet, some brutish fella warned us all not to attempt to record any part of the clip as we would be immediately escorted out and arrested for piracy. However, as he was saying this, there was some suspenseful music playing in the background, and the high points all seemed to coincide with his dramatic pauses. It was brilliant!

Brilliant, that sums it up perfectly.elski wrote:My favourite bit from THE DARK KNIGHT RISES preview was when Bane said "mrphlebrphlenumphlenumph".
It was hard to follow what was going on as I caught probably 1 word in 10 of Bane's.
Anyway, despite slightly chaotic organisation, film looks stunning especially on the IMAX, there was a great buzz in the queue and I now have 2 cool new tshirts as none of the sizes fitted my OH, don't comic book geeks come in small or medium?
Overall we were probably there about 80 minutes, so I think this should qualify for the 100 free films list!

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Saw it this lunchtime, got a Bane shirt, XL. They gave me the tough choice that I had to make a quick decision, at least on the T-Shirt you can read what it says.
Loved the footage, but yeah, Hardy needs to ADR himself before release.
Also, Bat-Jet!!!

This is what the T shirt looks like:

(Duvet not included)
Pretty plain, huh. It is Bane's mask, right?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
What does it even mean? I am not getting any sort of Batman reference out of the stripes...
